Federal Court Applications & Appeals
Appeals – Canadian Immigration Decisions
If your Canadian immigration application gets refused, there are several options available to challenge the decision. You can appeal the decision through the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) or file for a judicial review with the Federal Court.
What Are Your Options if a Canadian Immigration Application is Refused?
If your application is refused, you can challenge the immigration officer’s decision in the following cases:
- Family Class Sponsorships
- Permanent Residency Applications
- Refusals based on criminal inadmissibility or misrepresentation
You can also appeal against decisions involving refusal of a Permanent Resident Travel Document or removal orders issued to an applicant.
Appeals to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)
The IAD is part of the Immigration and Refugee Board and is an independent body that hears appeals related to immigration matters. These appeals may include residency obligations, removal orders, and family sponsorship issues.
Judicial Review Appeals to the Federal Court
If your application is refused, you can also request a judicial review with the Federal Court of Canada to challenge the immigration officer’s decision. However, these appeals have strict deadlines.
